Handy Prop for House Plants

If you have house plants with thin vines that do not stand up with a stick, I have used a wooden 5 fingered back scratcher to hold these vines up. Put the fingers upward and the vines slide nicely between fingers. This works great and does not hurt your vines of the plant.

Natural Prop for House Slants

This is a strange time of year for my Amaryllis to be blooming. I've had it in the basement, noticed it was growing and brought it upstairs. The leaves and stalk was starting to bend over so I took some of the pussy willow branches that I had brought in from my tree and propped the Amarylis bulbs up. As you can see in the picture they fill in the pot nicely, looking very natural, and they do the job.
